Default Fuel Pumps

I've got 5 brands to choose from. If I had the money, I would go Walbro no question, but funds are limited and I need to get the best one I can for the money.

Airtrex (reman?) - $105
Bosch (reman?) - $95
Python (reman) - $65
TRE Performance (new) - $80
Walbro 190LPH (new) - $125

Any input from brands besides Walbro? I know the Walbro is good but I need to know if any of the others are worth using. My fuel pump is going out so I need to pick one soon. I don't need the flow of a 255, and even the 190 is more than enough (stock is 160ish). I just wanna know if any of these other brands are as reliable as the Walbro

Looks just like the TRE pump. How long have you had yours?

if you're boosting in the future it's best to get the walbro. if not you can get something else instead

Only a few weeks. I swapped an LS/Vtec in my hatch and decided to drop it in.

As a heads up, Walbro's aren't the amazing pumps everyone thinks. Their quality is above average, but I have seen many fail with only a few years of life. Aeromotive is the only brand I would go with if boosting. However, I'm not boosting, and the Xenocron pump works great!

I also noticed your price on the walbro 190. You can pick up a 255 for under 100 from Xenocron..

No turbo in my future so 255LPH is overkill. Where can I find Aeromotive pumps?

if you dont think you can afford a walbro, you arent going to afford an aeromotive.

Agreed, I wasn't saying to get Aeromotive in your situation, you simply don't need it. As far as the 255lph being overkill, it doesn't matter. It will run as stock. Your regulator will bring it to stock pressure.

Gotcha. So Walbro would be the way to go over any of the other brands?
